I can explain that a bit i think.

When i was a teenager i tried to kill myself.

It seemed like such a good idea at the time. but my actions were anything but free will. I felt forced to it by others. as little as 1 month later i realised how foolish a decision it was.


One small deviation from the rational almost ended my life.

I think its as simple as not understanding the ramifications of your actions.. just as it would be if a baby drank poison. you could call it free will, or just a silly decision.
